Can we get a compilation post of all the most horrendous shit this dead asshole said so we can post it at the civility nerds?

Nice things Charlie Kirk said:

  1. Said gun deaths are “unfortunately worth it” to preserve the Second Amendment.
  2. Quoted scripture about homosexuality as an “abomination” deserving death.
  3. Called Martin Luther King Jr. a “myth” and said the Civil Rights Act was a “huge mistake.”
  4. Spread COVID-19 misinformation likening masks and vaccine mandates to “medical apartheid.”
  5. Suggested mass incarceration as a fix for the housing crisis.
  6. Advocated for public, televised executions even for children to watch.
  7. Said "I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage"

For anyone who can only handle about 12-minutes-per-day of anything news related before needing to retreat into isolation, allow me to recommend spending those 12 minutes listening to the opening monologue of 'The Rush Limbaugh Show.'

As government imposes the will of a few upon the many, the many begin to resist. Ultimately, it becomes necessary for the government to use force to make the people conform.

The left has viewed the coronavirus pandemic as a political 'opportunity' from the start.

When you deliberately distort and selectively present the truth, you lie.

There's some real bangers in there

Also he gushes about the free market but then says shit like

The more money Washington puts into the hands of students only enables the colleges and universities to continue propping up the price of education.

Deeply unserious.

Damn compare the favorability of the selection of quotes from this shitbag to people like Stalin and Mao. Amazing the lengths even "benign" orgs go to protect the right and slander the left.

Death penalties should be public but not as a deterent but because nobody in a country that has capital punishment should be allowed to just ignore what their government is doing. So many people support capital punishment right now only because it happens "elsewhere" and they don't have to see it. Nah, if you're going to have capital punishment then everyone should feel bad about it and nobody should be allowed the luxury of just pretending that it isn't happening.

Just as an addendum, I think cop violence resulting in death should also count as a state execution, not just a death penalty imposed by a court
